Subject: [PATCH 1/1] thunderbolt: Deletion of unnecessary checks before the
 function call "ring_free"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2014 11:30:18 +0100

The ring_free() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then
returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
